We're going to need Tim and it was good to see him square one up.

His last 20 at-bats or so, he's really seeing the ball well. And tonight? You can't square up a ball any better than those couple of home runs.

Tim Salmon, his groin got a little bit tight. Francisco, a little cramp in his hamstring.

He, too, has to go back to square one as our defensemen do and our forwards do.

He is about command as much as he is about velocity. If you had one you had to do without, it would be velocity. But right now he's having trouble with his command.

We didn't have a lot of options. We're going to absorb this one. We'll be on a flight in a couple hours, and we'll work on tomorrow on the plane.
